When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 30 Express 2012 and the Regal 3360 Window Express 2009 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 3360 Window Express 2009 measures 34,7 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 5,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 30 Express 2012 at 29,4 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 3360 Window Express 2009 tips the scales at 1 212 lbs — 1 118 lbs less than the Regal 30 Express 2012 at 94 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
